Description
Buckminster Hall is a small country house built in 1669 and later remodeled in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The structure features coursed limestone rubble, limestone ashlar, and red brick, topped with a slate roof that has a stone-coped north gable and ashlar gable stacks. The double ridge hipped slate roofs of the 19th-century addition to the north have decorated eaves and a single brick lateral stack.
The original 17th-century range to the south has two storeys and an attic, with a four-bay front. On the right side, there is a doorway with a projecting ashlar doorcase that has moulded eaves and a triangular-headed doorway with a moulded keystone, leading to an interior glazed door with glazing bars. To the right, there is a central brick bay window featuring three narrow ashlar-dressed plain sashes, while to the left is a two-light ashlar-dressed window with narrow plain sashes. Beyond this is a canted brick bay window with three narrow ashlar-dressed plain sashes. Above, there are four plain sashes and a moulded parapet, along with three dormer windows that have off-centre flat-headed 19th-century glazing bar sashes flanked by single five-light 20th-century casements. A chimney on the building is inscribed with "BTA DNI ANO 1669."
To the north, there is a two-storey, three-bay 19th-century brick addition that features a canted ashlar-dressed bay window on the right, which has a central pair of glazed doors flanked by single narrow plain sashes, alternating with pilasters that have ornate capitals. To the left, there are two ashlar-dressed plain sashes with raised keystones, and to the right, a tripartite plain sash with an ashlar surround and raised keystone is present, along with two more ashlar-dressed plain sashes to the left, also with raised keystones. The interior is noted to be of no particular interest.
